Disciple of Passion

The heavens glitter as trillions of eternal stars crown the night. And this bejeweled tiara; twinkles, glints, and sparkles with light. A gilded Moon reveals Her face; the Goddess of enchanted beams. And I dismiss rules and logic; in favor of magic and dreams. Safe in my bed, sleep severs strings; allowing for untethered dreams. And anxiety floats away, on the echoes of trickling streams. In my dreams, I get to explore feelings of love and compassion. And not as a puppet of lust; but a disciple of passion. Within this surreal slumber, I'm able to do more than cope. For sheltered from reality; dreams expand the fringes of hope.

Love these lines "And I dismiss reality in favor of magic and dreams." and "During the night sleep severs strings and I walk untethered through dreams."

Sleep does refresh hope and thus, our ability to cope. This is so darn poetic, it touches me with truth and rhyme. I love it, Emile ... CayCay
